We Are Today’s Peace Movement

Peace Action works for smarter American approaches to global problems. If we want to address problems like war, the nuclear threat, poverty, global warming, terrorism – the U.S. needs to work together, cooperatively, with other nations. It also means overcoming the partisan politics and divisive rhetoric that often drown out alternatives to war. By getting regular Americans involved, we build the political will needed to break through that deadlock. Our success comes from engaging average citizens in foreign policy issues like no other organization.

Campaigns

A World Without Nuclear Weapons

Since our founding as the Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy in 1957, Peace Action has tirelessly worked for a world free of nuclear weapons. Help us advance that goal and decrease the threat of nuclear weapons in the meantime.

Promote Diplomacy with North Korea

Only sustained, reciprocal diplomacy can solve the impasse with North Korea. The Trump administration’s pivot towards diplomacy with North Korea is encouraging, but unrealistic expectations and maximalist demands could prove to be a major impediment to reaching an agreement. Peace Action is working to build support for diplomacy and pushing Congress to pass legislation that would prevent President Trump from taking preventive military action.

Ending Wars in the Middle East

A decade and a half of failed U.S. policy in the Middle East—from America’s so-called Global War on Terror to the disastrous invasion of Iraq—has cost millions of lives and trillions of dollars. It has destabilized an entire region and fueled violent extremism rather than suppress it. It’s time to put an end to endless war and to focus on building real security through diplomatic and humanitarian strategies.

Promote Diplomacy with Iran

The Iran nuclear agreement has been keeping the world safer by ensuring all of Iran’s potential pathways to obtaining nuclear weapons are blocked. Unfortunately, President Trump’s reckless, politically-motivated withdrawal from the Iran agreement could lead to its collapse. Peace Action is working hard to help salvage the Iran agreement and to prevent a disastrous war with Iran that the Trump administration appears to be laying the groundwork for.

.@realDonaldTrump is signing a bill to fund the #Pentagon at $717 billion which nearly all Republicans and most Democrats voted for. That doesn’t include all the cost of wars or weapons adding up to over a trillion dollars representing over 50% of US discretionary spending. pic.twitter.com/1NH7LZRZsk

I don't remember voting for U.S. bombs to murder little kids in #Yemen, do you? — "The midterm candidates for Congress — from both parties — need to address this issue and tell voters how they plan to make this carnage stop" philly.com/philly/columni…

Many politicians say “support the troops.” Yet, they fail to completely fund health care, suicide prevention and a livable wage for the #military. Worse, they are deployed with failed strategies like #Iraq and #Afghanistan. It’s profits over privates. npr.org/2018/08/13/637…

The Saudi-led coalition is once again attacking the port of Hodeidah. If these military strikes continue, there is a major risk that the famine in Yemen will intensify. We have to stop assisting the Saudis in furthering this humanitarian crisis. reuters.com/article/us-yem…
